Hi Vadim,

As you can see, all the patch names you listed above ^ are automatically
populated by the tooling below. Please use the message in patch 0/7 to
provide the reviewer with contextual information about these changes. A
summary of the series and why its needed is a good start. You want to
keep specific information to each patch with the patch. Think of this as
an Introduction to help the reviewer be prepared to review each
individual patch.

This message provides no context, and no introduction, so a reviewer
will have to figure that out as they go - which is another barrier to
getting the code reviewed.

Something for next time. OK, on to the review...
